Hasui, Kawase (1883 – 1957), “Rain at Ushibori (Limited Edition)”

Notes: Hasui signature and artist red seal, lower right. Red limitation stamp on the reverse; numbered in black ink. Stamped on the reverse, "Made in Japan". Copyright seal in lower right margin. Seal of printer (Komatsu) and carver (Maeda) in lower left margin. This image of Ushibori, Ibaraki prefecture, is a characteristic Hasui print by the Tokyo-based publishers Sakai-Kawaguchi: wide margins, a slightly heavier paper stock and highly textured printing. A watercolor based on this design is also known to exist.
